Curb Appeal

Season 1

Episode 3: Below-Grade Rancher

Designer Betsy Rick softens the hard-edged look of a ranch-style home that is set well below street grade. She re-faces an aging brick planter box in gray flagstone, breaks up the long, horizontal facade of the house with a varied planting design and hanging baskets, and adds brass hardware and fixtures to the front door for sparkle and interest.
